per Marcus:
Daniel Oturu was the highest-rated big man Richard Pitino ever signed when he landed with the Gophers to headline the 2018 recruiting class last year.
It hasn’t taken Oturu long to prove worthy of that four-star rating out of high school.
After his 20 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks in last week’s win against North Carolina A&T, the 6-foot-10 former Cretin-Derham Hall standout was named Big Ten freshman of the week Monday.
“Daniel was a top-40 recruit in the country for a reason,” Pitino said. “We worked really, really hard to get him. Very excited when we did get him. He’s a talented, talented player. He’s going to be a really good player for a long time in this league.”
Oturu, who averages 10.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.0 blocks this season, leads all Big Ten freshmen in rebounds, blocks and double-doubles. His third straight double-double and fourth straight double-figure scoring game came in an 86-67 win Friday against North Carolina A&T.
